lapua 221 fireball brass

[robbor]

i touched base with lapua a little over a year ago about 221 fireball brass and they said they wer thinking about it but wasnt in the future as of yet. I got this response today so if your lucky you might see brass next year.
"Yes, it is in the works. Perhaps in the near future. Can't be more specific than that."

I made some

But how much would you have saved if you didnt have to form, anneal, and turn them??? You could afford 3x the brass, lol.

So how many Lapua 221 cases have you seen?

Maybe that you can't buy 3x as much of something that doesn't exist...

Most likely at the SHOT Show next January guys . . . hang tight. If there's anything that I hear of before then, I'll let you know!

Might as well go ahead and put a "20 VarTarg" headstamp on some too!

My point is.....that tom is using his brass right now. And you're talking up something that isn't available, isn't even being made, and you don't know if/when it's gonna be made. Price means zilch if it's something you can't get.

I second that motion! Just bought all the stuff to make my own and I'm not looking forward to slogging through 400 pieces just to make some decent stuff.

My Remington 221 brass is losing primer pockets after a single firing and its not even a hot load. Complete junk.
